I use Estlcam not Openuilds's software. However, I have had a similar problem where many times I had my file crash when cutting if I forgot to...
I have never used the Openbuilds software because I had already purchased an Estlcam license for $59 and I really like it. I have an ancient...
You could maybe customize it by having no screw in the 1510 kit and get a 1/2"-10 five start acme screw (12.7 mm) from McMaster-Carr (or...
I use 1/2 the diameter of the cutter for woods and plastic. However, my CNC is much more rigid than a MPCNC. There are many factors that will...
I use a straight for all wood no matter the thickness. I like the finish better due to no tear-out. As for expanded pvc, that should be easy to...
There are a couple of people who have done this. Go to the Laser section of the forum and search "acro Z axis". Here is one of them. Modified...

I have been mulling this one over for my K40. Right now I use k40 whisperer with the stock board.

Ok. I totally misunderstood what you were trying to accomplish. :)
Oh, and that bit also works great on HDPE plastic.
I use straight flute bits for woods and get nice clean cuts with no tear outs. I like this Freud one,...
Something similar was done on a 3D printer build. TrueUp Glide
Looks good! Slate tile is good material to laser as well.
Ha! Last week I switched cutters in the middle of the job and forgot to re-zero the Z. I plunged down into the wood almost to the collet before I...
GitHub was confusing to me at first, as well. But after looking at that page a million times whenever I was stumped, it has gotten easier. As...
